Hydrafacial vs. Microneedling

Hydrafacial and Microneedling are some of the most famous skin treatments out there. Both are equally remarkable in treating different skin conditions and problems. However, both Hydrafacial and Microneedling are different special treatments that can only accommodate and address certain problems. Not only that, they cannot be simultaneously taken as they might produce complications in your skin. And so, choosing the right treatment for you to take is only essential. 

Hydrafacial

This famous treatment is unique because it involves three different stages of treatments. First, there is cleansing and exfoliating to remove old and dead skin. Second, impurities are extracted through gentle suction. Third, serums are infused into the skin to protect and improve the skin through antioxidants and peptides. What makes it even more special is that these three stages, after completion, have zero downtime. 

Advantages of Hydrafacial:

• Relaxes the skin
• Balances the skin tone
• Brightens the skin
• Smoothes and softens the texture of your skin
• Minimizes and reduces fine lines and wrinkles
• Eliminates dark spots 

Microneedling

Microneedling, on the other hand, is popular because of its ability to trigger collagen production. While there is little pain involved in the treatment since it uses micro needles to puncture the skin, it is still opted by many people because of its effectiveness and long-lasting results. Additionally, it is considered as a progressive treatment as sessions go by, your skin becomes more and more radiant and youthful as it improves more and more. 

Advantages of Microneedling:

• Improves skin quality
• Increases collagen production
• Increases elastin production
• Minimizes and reduces fine lines and wrinkles
• Reduces appearance of acne scars and stretch marks
• Eliminates dark spots and discoloration

Which treatment should you choose?

Choosing between the two treatments should primarily rest on what you want to address. Aside from their respective advantages and benefits, you should also seek expert opinion regarding your skin condition. Generally here are the things you should consider:

DRY SKIN

Hydrafacial can address dry and dull skin by hydrating it.

SCARS

Microneedling is the treatment for scars since it can stimulate collagen production.

TOUCH UP

Hydrafacial can significantly make your skin glow and relax it.

WRINKLES, SKIN SAGGING AND FACIAL LINES

Microneedling has the ability to firm your skin to make it tighter and refined. 

ACNE BREAKOUT

Hydrafacial’s three stage procedure can intensely clean your pores and minimize breakout.
